Does the suns gravity keep the planets in orbit around it?
Yeah
What is the force that keeps planet in orbit?
the suns gravity keeps the planets in orbit
What are the 2 forces that keep planets orbiting suns?
gravity and inertia
The plants are kept in orbit by the sun's blank?
The planets are kept in orbit by the Suns gravity.
What type of force provided by the suns gravity keeps the planets in orbit?
the gravititonal pull does; it is what keeps all the planet in the suns orbit xx
What part does gravity play in the paths of the planets?
Gravity is the force that keeps the planets in their orbits around the sun. It pulls the planets towards the sun, while their forward motion keeps them from falling into it. Gravity also influences the shape and stability of the planets' orbits.
What type of force keeps the sun and planets in there places?
the suns gravitational pull pulls them toward it but the planets try to escape its gravity
Did Kepler say that it was the pull of the suns gravity that kept the planets in orbit?
No. Kepler proposed that some force kept the planets in orbit, but did not know or say what that force was. It was Isaac Newton who figured out that this force is gravity.
A meteor is an asteroid that has been captured by a planets or a moons gravity and had been pulled away from the suns gravity true or false?
false, meters are asteroids in the earth atmosphere
What keeps the planets from being pulled to the suns surface by gravity?
The orbital speed of the planets prevent this. The planet's ARE all failing towards the Sun but their horizontal speed means they always miss.
Why don't planets simplyfall into the sun?
The planets are pulled around by the suns center of gravity, wort of like what happens when you swing a ball around on a rope, it does not ever hit you because you are in the center.
Does the suns gravity keep the planets from floating away?
The planets have a tangential velocity, they are speeding along sideways relative to the sun. If there was no gravity, this velocity would take the planets away from the sun, but the sun has a huge gravitational force which counteracts this effect. The suns gravitational force attracts the planets in, against this tangential velocity. If the planets were to gradually slow down, then they would eventually spiral into the sun, but in space there is no drag, so the planets maintain their speed and their orbits.
